An Eye For Plants

Plant blindness is our tendency to overlook and undervalue the plants around us. Dr Margaret Bradshaw champions doing the opposite. If anyone can encourage us to overcome plant blindness, it’s Margaret. A passionate botanist, Margaret has studied and campaigned for the protection of the rare flora of Teesdale, in England’s County Durham, for over seven decades. And at 97, she has no plans of stopping. In this short film she urges us to take a closer look at what’s beneath our feet and treasure the often unnoticed flora around us.
